Una pregunta... Se podría estudiar el uso de manipulación genética con tecnología CRISPR para controlar el nematodo o bien fortalecer de alguna manera a las hayas?
Saludos desde Europa. Me parece un tema muy muy preocupante. Me da la sensación de que no se están tomando las medidas que, en mi opinión, deberían ser radicales y urgentes. De aquí a poco estará extendida a todo Norteamérica y esperemos que no llegue aquí...
The list of cultivars you give is helpful, but those are not native plants. There are some cultivars of the natives, Blue Muffin Arrowwood for instance.
These can grow in zone 6 also.
GREAT info! Thanks for the video, y'all.
Finally managed to grow a native field thistle in a container after years of failing to germinate its seeds! So happy! I hope to grow native swamp and tall varieties. I’ll definitely collect all the seeds this fall, sorry birds!
Here in the central California foothills, we were invaded by Italian Thistle last spring, and it's EVERYWHERE this spring. Just the WORST! I see very little coming to the flowers, but it's invasive as hell, and tough as nails. I can cut it down to the ground and in a month it's back and flowering again. And SPINY? It sets the standard!
Is this a flower plant? We have one in a backyard of a house we bought that is very hardy, mature - it looks like a shrub. It has existed in a semi sun location for many years.
They are currently commercially available. Also Creeping Jenny is working it's way on to invasive lists.
Another name for New Jersey tea is red root.
About @5:35 - Please don't remove the stems of tallish flowering plants in the fall - cut them back to 12-18 inches so to leave nesting cavities for critically important native bees! If the stems have seed heads - leave half of them alone for birds that prefer feeding on seeds atop a natural flower (e.g. goldfinches with coneflower or sunflower heads) and the other half of the seed heads leave on the ground for those birds that prefer ground foraging (e.g. doves, thrushes, wrens.) Also, leave as many tree leaves as you can on the ground - this is critical over-wintering habitat for many moths and butterflies. Next year's baby birds MUST HAVE caterpillars to survive!
Omg my whole transplant of over 100 onions wiped out second year in a row.
Same. I had no idea what was happening
Important topic and great presentation, but honestly many of the companion-planting recommendations don't align well with the known bloom periods of fruit trees. For instance, most pears bloom for a short time in early spring, while the suggested flowering plants (bee balm, echinacea, bloom in summer. You can still love the color and diversity they bring, but don't expect any improvements in pollination.
Hello from Alaska. I really enjoyed your video. Thank you!
Nasturtium is non-native
Very common in NE (nebraska). We also get very large swaths of fire flies in suitable terrain. Think, a very grassy and unkept plot. By a river. An area where you would certainly get chiggers by walking thru tall grass. It's very beautiful when viewed from afar. Like a biking path or from your porch. I never figured they were basically the same bug.
This was very informative. Thank you!
Thank you for the video. I planted one two years ago and it is not blooming, I will be careful moving it into a sunnier spot as it is under my Pagoda dogwood and is somewhat shady.
I have a 3 year old Pagoda dogwood and I wanted to know if I could trim it as it is near a walkway. Would pruning be best in Fall?
The person being "interviewed" as an expert clearly knows nothing about these plants and is just reading notes she pulled from other sources.
They love boneset which I let grow in my garden. Glad to know they are allies.
Ugh this makes me wanna give up trying to learn more about this subject 🤦🏻♀️ it’s painful to try to listen
Forgot how torturously boring school was until this moment 😭
i’m from north alabama and just found your page! so helpful and informative, thank you all!
Where do you get seeds locally I am in new Kent county
Thank you for a very informative video! There's no need for applying chemicals to remove any plant though - you simply put down cardboard, stone slate on top of it, and large planters on top of that. When deprived of light and possibility for growing for a certain period of time, they disappear. You can put nitrogen infused wood shavings (from your hamster/bunny/cat's tray) under the cardboard to burn off any shoots, and feed the ground while waiting for the nuissance plant to disappear.
so helpful! thank you! ...and for your 'grace' 😊
Black Gum is a nice tree. I live near the Turquoise Trail in Reston which has many Black Gums in the understory. They don't get the red color in Fall unless they are in full sun. In my yard is a large one, 30-40 ft, that produces the small black fruits but I've never been close enough to see the flowers, they're really quite small, indistinct. Once you see a mature tree and the bark it's easy to recognize. You can also see small hornbeam trees on this trail.
Somehow... this is informative on one side, but super ignorant on the other. All insects are beneficial to the rest of the planet......not just to your $ investments you put into your garden. I love that insects cause millions of dollars of damage to human interests. Every penny is well deserved for the damage humans put onto nature. poisoning insects so birds, amphibians and reptiles can also be poisoned...seems like a strange double standard. Again.... Im not pointing fingers... but you are putting out equally dangerous information.... along with great insights into the ecosystem
This series is amazing!!!
Great presentation! Thank you for all the helpful info. However, I must disagree with your suggestion about not growing grocery store variety garlic. I grew garlic that I purchased from the grocery store last year and I had a great harvest! I think the key is to make sure the garlic is organic. 🧄🤍 The same rule applies when buying potatoes from the grocery store that you intend to plant. (P.S. In case anyone was curious, grocery store garlic is usually a soft neck variety because it’s stores longer 😉)
So much valuable information. Subscribed!
Very good information. Thank you for sharing
Glad it was helpful!
Hello there 👋👋👋👋
Thanks for sharing...would Elephant Garlic be considered as hard neck or soft neck??? I'm in Zone 7A and was wondering how and when to plant Elephant Garlic as well..Thanks 😊
That’s funny you ask that because today I went to buy garlic at the local garden center & they were selling elephant garlic (it’s actually more of a leek than a garlic it turns out) and the sales lady told me that it was considered a soft neck
@@kypie8 oh wow, thanks for responding...based on the size of the cloves...I automatically assumed it would've been a hardneck...either way, I'm excited...this is my first year growing garlic👍😊
@@Rojuicy_ 🤗 My pleasure! It’s only my second year growing garlic. Last year I just grew organic soft neck garlic from the grocery store & that worked out well! This year I’m diving into hard neck territory along with some of the cloves from this years soft neck harvest. I am also living in a zone 7a & I’ll be planting out my garlic today or tomorrow since we had our first frost two days ago & there should be no chance of the garlic starting to grow it’s tops. I wish you the best of luck growing your garlic this year! It does take a lot of time to come to fruition (I harvested the crop I planted in October, 2021 in early July of 2022) but it is well worth it & a rewarding experience ☺️🧄💚
@@kypie8 wow, that's awesome...I planted some for the first during the first week of Oct, and I see some of them topping off...hope it wasn't too soon...I have another batch that I'll be planting this weekend as well...thanks again, and good luck to you too👍😊
@@Rojuicy_ Thank you! 🙏 My crop from last year also started growing tops before freezing temps set in & I was worried about them not turning out alright. Luckily, the crop was still successful in the end but I think I might have gotten more root growth & a bigger bulb size had I waited just a little bit later to plant them. I just added extra mulch around their bases & made sure to water them about once a month whenever the soil seemed to be drying out. I think you’ll be successful with your first planting but that is a smart idea to plant some more now just in case 😉

I see these all over creeping thistle flowers where I live in Seattle.
Now someone said that the powder mildew is only cosmetic and don't effect the plant

i found one growing wild behind my shed last year, then a few by a small stream in the woods, loved them and recently found out how to grow them. I ordered seeds and some live plants for this year. Cant wait to plant a ton of them. really like them
I have Itea "Little Henry" and I love it! I hope to add a Nine Bark. The winter seed capsules are so interesting!
Thank you Ms. Natale, Kurtz and Train for this to the point, informative garlic how to video. I grow both hard neck and soft neck in N. VA area. I just planted most of garlic for the season. Stay safe and well.
